As previously reported, the Ronnie James Dio tribute This Is Your Life will be released on April 1st and today you get to hear Metallica's contribution to the release. The nine-minute medley of four tracks titled "Ronnie Rising" and performed by Metallica features riffs from "A Light In The Black," "Tarot Woman," "Stargazer," and "Kill The King." All songs were originally written and recorded by Rainbow. Enjoy it here!

As someone said when Metallica did Garage album: "Others invented those songs, but Metallica played them". Same here and by the way, really awesome production. Hope to hear something like this on their new album.

Yeah, nowhere close to the shine of the original songs but from Metallica this is still the most listenable thing in many many years. The Stargazer-Kill The King part was damn good. Too bad none of this greatness was written by them...
